"The need of the many outweighs the need of the few... or the one."
Dear trekkies (We also have some of the orchestra). Obviously, we need to head into the Star Trek territory.
And we want to do that through interweaving
two different musical ideas from this huge pop culture franchise.
First, we have the opening notes of the original series that accompanies "Space, the final frontier."
Jerry Goldsmith did another theme song for the first feature film, The motion picture.
Then came James Horner (This is not the last time we hear him tonight).
He picked the introductory notes from the original series and made a theme song based
on them for The Wrath of Khan (My favorite in the series).
Then, when The Next Generation was produced Goldsmiths tune was picked up and reworked a bit.
It became perhaps the most classic of the modern the Star Trek tunes.
We'll run both. We'll run Wrath of Khan, and we'll run the Next Generation.
Star Trek, here we go.
